The Antidote to Discouragement

Discouragement is something every believer faces—but it doesn’t have to define us. In this episode of Living Out 180, Brad and Kendall are joined by special guest Pastor Allan Malloy for an honest, hope-filled conversation about navigating seasons of discouragement with faith and trust in God.

Using the story of Hannah as a foundation, the discussion explores how discouragement often grows out of unmet expectations, comparison, and feeling unseen. Rather than offering quick fixes, this episode points to biblical rhythms that bring renewal—honest prayer, trusting God’s promises, and choosing worship even when circumstances haven’t changed.

Along the way, the conversation weaves in insights on leadership, family life, and discipleship, highlighting how discouragement can quietly affect our relationships, calling, and confidence if left unaddressed. This episode is an encouragement for anyone who feels weary, overwhelmed, or stuck—and a reminder that God sees, hears, and responds.

If you’re walking through a difficult season or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers perspective, comfort, and practical steps to help you move forward with hope.
